Did I Ever Tell You? is a non-fictional collection of essays written by Margaret ""Peggy"" Shields Hinde specifically for her then seven-year-old granddaughter, Amanda Margaret Czerniak, in 1992. It is an amusing and poignant account of what life was like as a young child growing up in the Depression years of the 1930s in Philadelphia. She recalls the happiness and the losses she experienced with such short stories as Did I Ever Tell You About My Street?, Did I Ever Tell You About My School?, Did I Ever Tell You About My First Lie?, and Did I Ever Tell You About The First Boy Who Loved Me?, just to name a few. She concludes her essays with the end of her elementary school years, before she sets off for junior high school and enters young womanhood.
